Into the LightFiled under: Personal Research | African-American Formerly, "Just Thinking", this blog presents the thoughts and experiences of a family historian trying to demystify the past and discover the stories of an elusive ancestry. Research is rooted mainly in Franklin County, NC, and focuses on the surnames, Yarborough, Green(e), Hawkins, and Dunstan. With so much of my family's history shrouded in darkness, it has been and continues to be my personal mission to uncover the hidden details of my ancestry and bring them INTO THE LIGHT. http://justthinking130.blogspot.com/ - last updated 3 Dec 2019 |

My Timeless ReunionFiled under: Personal Research | African-American When I started this project, I truthfully had no appreciation for the introspection that would come from it. My hope was to simply give my son the gift of knowing where he came from. After a few short months, I realized this gift has the potential for so much more. Dr. Henry Louis Gates has said, "Knowing about the past reveals more about the present. Knowing about your ancestors teaches you more about yourself." So far, I couldn't agree more. http://mytimelessreunion.wordpress.com/ - last updated 2 Sep 2011 |
